    You may want to install cpan2rpm:

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/cpan2rpm/

    Once installed do:

    cpan2rpm Crypt::PasswdMD5;

    Grab the directory cpan2rpm put the rpm, then install the rpm:

    (for me) rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/perl-Crypt-PasswdMD5-1.3-1.noarch.rpm

    Problem should be solved after that.

    Hi,

    I was also having the same error, when I do /scripts/rpmup or /scripts/sysup:-

    ##################
    Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Crypt::PasswdMD5) is needed by package syslinux
    ##################

    So, I installed cpan2rpm, but could not proceed further because now I am getting this error:-

    ###############################
    root@ns1 [~]# cpan2rpm Crypt::PasswdMD5;

    -- cpan2rpm - Ver: 2.028 --

    -- Done --

    Can you suggest.

    Thanks

    Try reinstalling cpan2rpm again, also check its version is correct as per the server

    i had the same error runing yum update. The solution is very simple:

    syslinux is not useful on servers, so this can be fixed by editing /etc/yum.conf

    Code:
    vi /etc/yum.conf
    In the line exclude =, at the end add syslinux*

    In this case, installation is from “rpmforge” repo, it is not used, so i removed rpmforge repository

    Code:
    root@server70 [~]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
root@server70 [/etc/yum.repos.d]# ls -l
